... I'm not conscious of the speed ... it's not my motive ... my motive is displaying a voice through the fingerboard ... it can get to the point where I don't have control over what I am playing ... I never end the gig until I can't sing anymore

I began to learn a lot of chords and rhythms. It was a bit boring at the time but came in very handy later on.

It will be the first time I've played live with a double bass.

George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy.

Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.

Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.

So if you see Ten Years After, it's not me anymore. I'm very happy with what I am doing now.
